The Contemplations, Rants & Reminiscences of DavidB327

Something Sensational To Read On The Train

I was dismayed to hear about the death of Maggie Jones, most famous for playing Blanche Hunt in Coronation Street.I know nothing about her apart from seeing her in the Street, but for sure she played that part brilliantly. Blanche was a miserable old bag, but her one liners were a treat. My favourite one of all time was her moan about Deirdre’s Christmas turkey being “as dry as a camel’s backside”.I think the way she played the role was very much reminiscent of Bette Davis in “The Anniversary”.
